A. was playing with E.’s dollhouse this morning and was frustrated trying to fit all of the dolls into the little SUV. This is how our conversation went:
A: “Hup, peeas, Mama!”
M: “You need help putting them in the car, A.?”
A: “Yesth, Mama.”
(So I proceed to put the “Mom” in the driver’s seat.)
A: “NOOOOOOO! No dere!”
M: “Where does the Mommy go?”
A: “DERE!” (Pointing to the passenger seat.)
M: “Who is going to drive the car.”
A: “Daddy!” (She runs to get the Dad doll and comes back with the big sister.)
A: “Look, Emma Gaaacie, too, Mama.”
(So I put Daddy in.)
M: “Where does Emma go?”
A: “Here with Baby Addie!” (And then she flings the little carseat across the room.) “No seat! Baby Addie, no seat!”
Apparently she likes to live life dangerously – with Daddy driving and no car seat. How in the world does a 22-month old come up with stuff like that??

Update: This afternoon we went out to run some errands and grab some lunch and I had forgotten that I took their carseats out yesterday to take the recycles over to the center, and also to do a vacuum of the car to get all the “kid leavings”. I opened up the door to A.’s side and she thought all of her dreams had come true! No car seats!! She was most unhappy when I started to put the seats back in, and her into the seat.
This is adorable!
A friend of mine took her daughter to a routine pediatrician visit, and the doctor was asking questions to get the daughter to talk so she could evaluate her development, and she told the doctor that “daddies drive and mommies ride.”
My friend was embarrassed that her daughter thought of her as the passenger instead of the driver.
She likes to live on the edge.
) These kids sure do keep us entertained, don’t they?!
They are fun aren’t they? I love listening to the little ones play out their stories. She is obviously walking on the wild side with no car seat and riding with daddy.
Dangerous stuff!
Apparently A. doesn’t get motion sick. Definitely going to be your wild child!
